The podcast episodes highlight the issue of cancer disparities, particularly among racial and ethnic minority groups, and the unique challenges faced by young cancer patients.

For example, episode 10272 explores the rising rates of cancers typically seen in older adults now occurring in those under 50, and discusses potential contributors and the impact on different populations.
